no?!

Heh, I like the idea that the latest iPod update was some sort of dry-run.

info?

― Player Piano Gamelan (ex machina), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

the following additional details from Mac OS X 10.4:

1) Smart Folders in Finder - these virtual folders allow you save specific search criteria for files and present matching files. Similar to iTunes' Smart Playlists.

2) Mail.app - Smart folders, account specific signatures, and a connection doctor.

3) Search field in the top right of the Mac OS X menu bar which allows you to search files in Finder.

Is he in FLACID MOTHRA'S PIMPLE?

― Player Piano Gamelan (ex machina), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

the sign is being guarded by two ILX amalgams.

Watch Apple CEO Steve Jobs deliver the Macworld Expo keynote address from Moscone Center in San Francisco. See the video-on-demand rebroadcast right here exclusively in QuickTime and MPEG-4.

I'm on macrumors.com waiting for updates to get pushed

― Player Piano Gamelan (ex machina), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm dorking out with you as well

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Like I said on the other thread the really good stuff is going to be xcode updates, x11 integration, xGrid etc etc.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

you also said you wanted a sub notebook!

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

well yes but that would require apple using a PowerPC 440, transmeta efficion or intel centrino ULV and that ain't gonna happen

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to peg it home. Hope steve jobs is his usual late self

Steve is bringing out Aaron Anderson, the president of a small company that makes an app called "Orbit." This software tracks satellites, some 650 unclassified satellites. Very cool, though its real-world uses are most definitely niche. Mr. Anderson is really touting OS X's development tools in his presentation, which is why he was really brought up. He says he made the app himself in just three months using Apple's Xcode. He also says a screen saver called FreeFall will be available. The audience applauded very loudly.

― Player Piano Gamelan (ex machina), Monday, 28 June 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

[12:34 PM] Steve is bringing the maker of an app called GuitarRig. He is showing it as an Audio Unit plugin, inside GarageBand. What this means is that you can use it from within GarageBand or any other app that recognizes Audio Units, a plugin format. The app basically allows you to make your guitar sound like just about anything. It's quite impressive, and we're listening to a studio guitarist demonstrate it. Lots of sounds, lots of effects. Very cool. - posted by Bryan

I'm probably one of those people with a real world use for it although their are plenty of java script apps that do the same. If it can tell me what size dish I need it's worth a fiver to me.

Ed: I think it was to tout the development utils and graphics capabilities of OS X

― Player Piano Gamelan (ex machina), Monday, 28 June 2004 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I know that but I'm genuinely in his niche.

h.264 support in quicktime, if it can do a realtime encode and stream that could pontentially be very very useful to me.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

although I've tested just about every realtime h.264 product (I get the latest one tomorrow) and its still not there yet, close but o cigar, especially with less than perfect video in

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

[12:59 PM] Frank says specifically that using this codec, one can generate a High Definition image at the same data rate as current codecs. Again, that's impressive. It just looks great. "Windows Media? Bring it," says Frank. - posted by Bryan

[12:56 PM] Steve is showing the latest DVD standard that was adopted by the MPEG group for DVD, called H624. It's scalable, awesome, open, and being built into QuickTime. Frank Casanova has come on stage to demonstrate it. Says it will support 4 times the resolution at the same data rate as current codecs. That's very impressive. - posted by Bryan

<mrRelay> : <MacRumors> New search field in Safari for RSS. Shows search in
Google, but says there's a delay by days.
<mrRelay> : <MacRumors> Instead can search RSS feeds, and presents them

― Player Piano Gamelan (ex machina), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

godmanit steve can we havesome proper geek stuff, or just cut to the 'and finally'.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:08 (twenty-one years ago)

yes!

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:08 (twenty-one years ago)

OK Core video is what I was looking for.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

COre Video/Audio/Image is basically OpenDoc by stealth. Good on yer.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll be psyched if Safari's RSS reading also synchs over iSync

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

DID SOMEBODY SAY WIDGETS

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

the scripting looks good, but we knew about that already

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha figures that i just bought a Konfabulator license last week

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a hell of a lot of OpenDoc/Taligent resurfacing

[1:32 PM] Steve says an SDK for Automater is being released today. - posted by Bryan

[1:26 PM] Steve is now talking about something called Automater, and he brought "Saul" up on stage to demo it. Automater effectively is a trainable app for learning repetitive tasks. It has an easy to use interface, and the use Saul is demoing is grabbing images off of his family's Web sites for use in a DVD he gives out at Christmas. He is showing how he can add Web sites for Automater to download from, add them to iPhoto, make a slideshow, and send it to iDVD.

This is definitely, definitely, cool, and it is very much for "normal" folks and computer pros alike. Very cool. Of course, Apple won't advertise it, just like Apple hasn't advertised anything in OS X other than iTunes, so no one besides me and you will every know about it.

I should also note that Steve said a .Mac SDK was being released for developers, allowing them to tap into things such as iSync. - posted by Bryan

being able to chatewith up to 10 people in iChat AV is kind of radical

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

iChat. Been a huge success. Video conferencing in Tiger based on h.264. significantly
improved quality. Most requested feature: talk to multiple people. 10 people in audio. 3
additional in video. Demoing.

Countdown to first multi-user ILX voice chat begins in 5... 4... 3...

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, h.264 in iChat meansthat realtime h.264 isdefiniately there maybe only at low res.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, Video Units, depending on how exactly they work was more than enough to set my world on fire.
